Campaign Buzz
Announced Canadicy
July 7, 2026
As a lifelong resident of Waveland, I have seen the many changes and challenges our city has faced. From a community filled with optimism and growth, to the destruction and losses of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. And now, a city being reborn again and the potential for new opportunities and greatness that our city has never seen before.
In the next couple of months I will be bringing my vision of a future Waveland directly to you and how I will work for you daily in making that vision a reality. And that is why I am excited to announce my candidacy for Alderman of Ward 2 Waveland in the upcoming October 6th Primary Election. With your support, we will make Waveland an even better place to live and visit for generations to come.
In the meantime, should you have any questions, please contact me at (228) 216-3537. Thank you in advance and I look forward to meeting with you soon

Get To Know Vicki
Vicki Reid Estapa is a proud Gulf Coast native, born and raised in Waveland, Mississippi. As a lifelong resident, she takes great pride in the community that has shaped her life and is dedicated to making it an even better place to live for future generations. A devoted mother to her two sons, Dillan Ladner, a resident artist in Georgia, and Austin Ladner, an IT Network professional currently pursuing his IT Security degree. Vicki is also blessed with two bonus sons, Gage Estapa and Luke Estapa. She is happily married to her husband, Todd Estapa, and together they share their home with their beloved rescued German Shepherd, Raina.
Vicki has always believed that a strong community is built through service and giving back. She has proudly served on the Steering Committee for the Hancock County Leadership Program since 2018 and currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, an organization that holds a special place in her family's heart. Throughout the years, she has also dedicated her time to coaching competitive youth soccer, capturing the beauty of the Gulf Coast through photography, and inspiring healthy lifestyles as a certified fitness trainer. These experiences have strengthened her passion for mentoring others, building relationships, and serving her community.
A 1992 graduate of Bay High School, Vicki continued her education by earning a degree in Paralegal Studies with a concentration in Real Estate. Early in her career, she worked for both large law firms and independent attorneys, gaining valuable experience in family law, estate law, and criminal law. While she enjoyed the legal profession and the opportunity to help clients through important life events, her passion for real estate never faded.
That passion ultimately led Vicki back to the real estate industry. Over the past two decades, she has helped families, business owners, and investors navigate some of life's most important decisions. Her experience includes working as a top closer with one of the Gulf Coast's leading title companies before becoming a licensed REALTOR® and Associate Broker with HL Raymond Properties. Throughout her career, she has built a reputation for integrity, professionalism, and putting people first.
Growing up in Waveland has given Vicki a deep appreciation for the resilience, values, and spirit of its residents. She understands the importance of preserving the character of the community while embracing thoughtful growth and opportunities for the future. Her commitment to listening, working collaboratively, and finding practical solutions is what inspired her to seek the opportunity to serve the citizens of Ward 2.
Vicki believes local government should be accessible, transparent, and responsive to the people it serves. She is honored to be a candidate for Waveland Alderman, Ward 2, and looks forward to working alongside her neighbors to help keep Waveland a community we are all proud to call home.
